Product introduction
Zaha-DX Eye Drop is used in the treatment of conjunctivitis. It prevents the growth of the bacteria that cause infection in the eyes. It also relieves the symptoms such as redness, swollen, and itching in the eye.
Zaha-DX Eye Drop is to be used as per the label instructions or as suggested by your doctor. Do not use it more than the recommended dose. Use it only on the affected eye. Use it regularly to get the maximum benefit from the medicine. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after administering the medicine.
Generally, this is a safe medicine. However, it may cause some mild and temporary side effects like eye discomfort, eye irritation, and burning sensation in the eye after instilling. Consult your doctor if any of these persist or worry you. If you experience any allergic reaction (rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc.), you must seek immediate medical help.
Before using it, tell your doctor if you have an underlying disease or are taking medicines for any health condition. The medicines that are used externally usually do not get affected by other medicines, however, you should let your doctor know if you are taking any medicines to ensure safety. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes as this may aggravate the infection. Reducing screen time and using goggles when you are out in the sun or in crowded or public areas can also help.

How Zaha-DX Eye Drop works
Zaha-DX Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Thus, it stops the bacteria from growing and prevents the infection from spreading. Dexamethasone is an anti-inflammatory medicine that inhibits certain chemical messengers such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes to reduce inflammation (redness and swelling) of the eyes. In this way, Zaha-DX Eye Drop treats conjunctivitis.
